I remember people in my dive class getting horse collar b/c's that were oral inflation only, no power inflator....Instructors were trying to push at-pacs.....
Can you imagine orally inflating a horse collar b/c?!
Horse collars b/c's are lame to begin with....I soon got a back wing and if you want face above the water, then what I used to do is disconnect and get out of my rig, inflate it all the way and climb onto it and use it like a paddle board......I could swim forever that way and there was less drag as I was partially out of the water.....
